Apple to Relocate from Tokyo

Almost five months from apples last release they have made the decision to relocate their Tokyo headquarters. The move will be within Japan and only minutes away from its current offices. Apple Japan will now be located in Roppongi Hills, and the building that Apple is moving to is a lot more trendy then their current location.

Bloomberg is reporting that Apple is all set for a planned move with its Tokyo headquarters. The company will relocate its Tokyo, Japan-based offices from the ward of Shinjuku to the slightly trendier neighborhood of Roppongi Hills. The building Apple is moving to also contains offices for Goldman Sachs and Barclays, as well as an art museum, apartments, a hotel and a private club.

Bloomberg also says that rent in Tokyo has been dropping since around 2008, and the lower prices make it a great time for Apple to make this move. Apple's spokesman in Tokyo declined to comment on the move, but sources there say the company's current lease will be done in June, so the move should be all complete by then
